MARKET DIRECTION
Stocks pushed deeper into negative territory late in Tuesday's session,
with materials and energy stocks among the leading decliners. A
disappointing housing report and renewed attention on the health of banks
fueled the negative mood.
Earlier in the day, the National Association of Realtors reported that sales
of existing homes fell 2.2% in May. The report surprised analysts who
thought deals would get a lift from a homebuyer tax credit. Sales fell to a
seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.66 million from a revised 5.79 million
in April.
The Federal Housing Finance Agency reported that its purchase-only
home-price index is down 12.8% from the peak in 2007. The federal tax
credit for home buyers helped lift prices, the FHFA said.
The Federal Reserve began a two-day policy meeting expected to close
Wednesday with no change to record-low rates.
Energy shares fell as the White House vowed to fight a court ruling against
the offshore drilling moratorium.
Tech shares eased but held up much better than the broader market. Apple
(AAPL) was up some 1% after saying it sold 3 million iPads in the first 80
days the tablet computers were on sale in the U.S.
Shares of Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) firmed after the company signed an
agreement to pay Stockholm-based Diamyd Medical $45 million to work
together on developing a type 1 diabetes treatment, according to
TheStreet.com.
Apple (AAPL) gains after announcing it sold three million iPad tablets as of
yesterday, the 80th day since the computer maker launched the product, it
said in a statement Tuesday. Apple is set to introduce the iPad in nine more
countries next month, the statement said. Apple also got a boost from
Deutsche Bank, which lifted its estimates on product shipments and 2010-
11 EPS.
In consumer shares, Walgreen Co. (WAG) fell after it reported that its
Duane Reed acquisition, a weak economy, lower reimbursement rates and
fewer new low-cost generic drugs cut into Q3 profits. The company
reported a net of $463 million, or 47 cents per share compared with $522
million, or 53 cents per share, a year ago when swine flu concerns help
boost revenues. Excluding items, Walgreen earned 54 cents per share,
disappointing analysts, who were looking for 57 cents, according to a
Thomson Reuters poll.
Commodities finished mixed as gold gained ground while crude oil futures
finished in the red.
Crude-oil for July delivery was down 1%, or $0.76, to $77.85 a barrel on the
New York Mercantile Exchange.
In other energy futures, heating oil fell 1.55%, or $0.03, to $2.11 a gallon
while natural gas fell 1.72%, or $0.08, to $4.79 per million British thermal
units.
Meanwhile, gold for August delivery rose $0.10 to $1,240.80 an ounce. In
other metal futures, silver rose $0.03, or 0.14%, to $18.88 while copper rose
$0.03 to $2.98 a pound.

Why To Question the 2010 Stock Market Rally [Why To Question the 2010
Stock Market Rally – Web Site Archived with Charts Click Here - In the
past year, we've written a lot about the similarity between the rally of
early 1930 and the one we had through April of this year. The early
1930 rally came after the market had fallen nearly 50% in the fall of
1929. The spring 1930 rally took the market up nearly 50% again, to a
level that was only about 20% below the previous peak. That rally, of
course, was also the biggest sucker's rally in history. After the market
peaked in April 1930, it crashed again, eventually ending up down 89%
from the 1929 high and more than 80% from the 1930 high. The market
did not reach the 1930 high again for another quarter of a century. The rally
that recently ended in April 2010 came after a crash that was actually
slightly more severe than the 1929 crash (53% versus 48%). It took the
market up nearly 80% from the low! The recent rally also lasted longer
than the 1930 rally did--a year, as opposed to 6 months … ]

don’t buy it. I believe the printing presses have been working overtime to
pump out ever more worthless fiat currency and with the many trillions of
worthless fraudulent paper still out there and marked to anything. I further
believe the same is being surreptitiously used to supplant the fraudulent
paper, the consequences of which will be devastating, of course, as is
invariably so in depressions in any event. This scenario would also mean
huge fraud accomplis. ] Fiat Money Supply Contracting at Great

The frauds on wall street et als should be criminally prosecuted, jailed, and
disgorgement imposed. If that were so, they wouldn’t be worrying about
who wins / loses since those who fraudulently play, invariably would (and
should) pay. If they’re not prosecuted, everyone loses.
THE FORECASTS:
Harry Dent, Jr. Economy will be in a Depression by 2011
The worst of this next depression is likely to hit between mid-2010 and mid-
2013, especially around early 2011, but if the banking system continues to
implode a deep downturn or depression could begin sometime in 2009
instead of 2010.
Dow will Fall to 3,800 – 4,500 by 2012
Nasdaq will Fall Below 1,100, its 2002 low, by late 2010 or mid-2012 at the
latest.
Inflation will Increase until mid- 2010 and then turn to Deflation
Interest Rates will Increase
U.S. Dollar will Decline
Housing will Decline by 40 – 60% from Today’s Levels
Greatest Economic and Banking Crisis since the 1930s will Occur Between
2010 and 2012
Russell Napier is the author of the book “Anatomy of the Bear”, a professor
at the Edinburgh Business School and a consultant to CLSA Ltd. which is
one of the top research houses in Asia. Napier’s research indicates (and I
paraphrase) that: The S&P 500 will Decline to 400 by 2014 (the Dow 30 to
3800)
The S&P 500 will then undergo a major crash that will see U.S. equity prices
bottom at almost 50% below current levels (i.e. to 400 or less; the Dow 30
to 3800 or less) sometime around 2014 as Tobin’s “q” drops to 0.3
signaling the end of the bear market, as it has done at the end of the four
largest U.S. market declines in 1921, 1932, 1949 and 1982.

Robert R. Prechter Jr. is author of a number of newsletters and books
including “Elliott Wave Principle” (1978) in which he predicted the super
bull market of the 1980s; “At the Crest of the Tidal Wave – A Forecast of the
Great Bear Market” (1995) in which he predicted a slow motion economic
earthquake, brought about by a great asset mania, that would register 11
on the financial Richter scale causing a collapse of historic proportions;
and “Conquer the Crash: You can Survive and Prosper in a Deflationary
Depression” (2002) in which he described the economic cataclysm that we
are just beginning to experience and advised how to position one’s self
financially during that period of time.
Depression is Imminent
The Dow Jones Industrial Average will go down to at least 1000, most likely
to below 777 which was the starting point of its mania back in August 1982,
and quite likely drop below 400 at one or more times during the bear
market.

Ron Paul: After ‘CIA coup,’ agency ‘runs military’ US House Rep. Ron Paul
says the CIA has has in effect carried out a “coup” against the US
government, and the intelligence agency needs to be “taken out.” I
also personally believe there has been a defacto coup d’etat which
has manifested in various substantial, blatant, brazened frauds, ie.,
wall street, missing 360 tons of $100 bills in Iraq, war profiteering, etc.,
without any fear of prosecution, and of course concomitant decline for
u.s. as the treasury is looted. But I also believe its scope is beyond
just the CIA with many complicit within the corrupted 3 branches of
u.s. government (fed judges, us attorneys, illegal system, etc.) plus
the military and private big money, ie., Goldman Sachs / wall street
men, etc., among other organized crime. america is defacto bankrupt

america’s just a fraudulent and failed defacto bankrupt nation.
There must be such things as parallel universes (I don’t really believe that,
because there isn’t) or how else do you explain the disconnect
between reality, current and prospective, and the wet dreams posited
to keep the war funding / corporate welfare programs alive in
collectively what has already become a trillion dollar boondoggle (not
counting prospective medical costs, etc.) and promises to go much
higher. Even israel apologist Cohen of The Washington Post alludes
to the Vietnam analogy. However, even if there were real goals beyond
the poppy / heroin trade which the Taliban had all but eradicated
(there isn’t); even if america wasn’t defacto bankrupt (america is);
even if america wasn’t killing innocent civilians in large numbers (war
criminal nation america is); even if america’s allies haven’t similarly
helped to bankrupt themselves by way of this war (they have); even if I
hadn’t told you so (I did) ….. this war still was, is, and remains a very
bad idea!
How does anyone take the u.s. seriously in light of their credibility
problems, war crimes, etc.? What nuke technology israel didn’t steal
from the u.s., the u.s. gave them along with missile, armaments, etc..
and paid for with taxpayer money that u.s. taxpayers and the defacto
bankrupt nation don’t have.
It's time to expel israel from the UN Without doubt, the israeli attack on the
Gaza-bound "Freedom Flotilla" in the dawn of Monday, May 31, 2010 is
one of the most savage crimes in recent history. It seems the ruling
power in Tel Aviv has been afflicted with a variant of mad cow
disease; otherwise, how could it be so cruel to unleash such a beastly
raid on the "Mavi Marmara," the Turkish flagship of a flotilla carrying
medical and humanitarian supplies to the hapless people of Gaza

"What this means is that Neanderthals are not totally extinct. In some of us,
they live on," Paabo … With regard to that extinction thing, I’d say
they’re still working on it (ultimately, decades, extinction, the
distinction, without a difference). Actually, prior to studying the
compelling subject of Biological Anthropology (Michael Park text), I
too had some misconceptions about the group known as Neandertals
(recent spelling drops the ‘h’) and actually mis-referenced same by the
stereotypical image of members of said clade even as the debate
continues as to whether they are within the species homo sapiens or a
separate species. I believe these to be distinctions without important
differences, so humble the origins and evolution of man truly are.
Parenthetically, I wonder what that anthropological scientist Heidi
Klum thinks on the subject.
Previously I wrote:
